Success in the Caribbean was rewarded, not surprisingly, considering India's 2-0 win. India opener Shikhar Dhawan remains in the squad despite managing one half-century in his last 11 innings, though whether he opens in Kanpur is far from certain considering he was dropped for the fourth Test in the West Indies. In the one-day leg of that tour, India A won the quadrangular series title and lost the first of two unofficial Tests by three wickets on Sunday. The three Tests will be played in Kanpur, Kolkata (September 30) and Indore (October 8). New Zealand start their tour with a practice match versus Mumbai in Delhi between September 16-18.
